I've been using Revit for abotu 4 years, but always on commercial project and never a multi housing setting. We are now going to use Revit on a multihousing project in which the PM has set up each unit as its own CAD file, and then puts them together like pieces of the puzzle to form the overall building plan. This works fine in Autocad using XRefs, but I am wondering how we are going to do this in Revit. Would it be possible to set up units as families, or groups, and stich them together in the overall plans? I can see how we will have walls that may conflict with one-another (each unit will need to have its defining walls). Has anyone had experience doing this sort of thing?

Generally its best to use links with this, and later when the changes start to reduce then bind them to groups... Remember with groups you can exclude elements to provent overlapping of walls...

well, its not a matter of dealing with changes, the PM just wants each plan to be it s own piece. The groups idea makes some sense.

Chris,
Can you expand on how to exclude elements in groups to prevent overlapping of walls.
Thanks
